Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this article I examine whether an influential theory of mechanisms proposed by Peter Machamer, Lindley Darden and Carl Craver can accommodate polygenic effects. This theory is both interesting and problematic, I will argue, because it ascribes a central role to activities. In it, activities are needed not only to constitute mechanisms but also to perform their causal role. These putative functions of activities become problematic in certain situations where several causes or elements of a mechanism contribute simultaneously, i.e. with certain forms of polygenic causation. The problematic form of polygeny, polygeny 2, occurs when the polygenic contribution concerns one and the same property or aspect of the affected object. When the result of such causation is that nothing happens, the theory suggested by Machamer and his colleagues cannot be applied. More generally, it seems that, whenever polygeny 2 is involved, the Machamer approach leads to an impoverished conception of mechanism.

- Malaria is a disease spread by mosquitoes, and it is a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the deaths in malaria are caused by the Apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Immunity against the disease is dependent on repeated exposure, and it usually takes several years to develop. Antibodies against different antigens are an important part of immunity, but cellular immunity has also been shown to be of importance. There is no licensed vaccine against malaria, and one of the reasons for this is that knowledge about how immunity is developed is still lacking. In this article, we go through the different stages of the life cycle of the parasite and explain what is known about immunity against different antigens from the preerythrocytic and erythrocytic stages. We also mention different host factors, which can affect the outcome of malaria.

Desalination and Power Plants Together for Water and Peace A Case study of the Gaza-Strip, Palestine

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Desalination can be a cost-effective way to produce fresh water and possibly electricity. The Gaza Strip has had a complex hydro-political situation for many years. Gaza is bordered by the Mediterranean in the west, by Israel in the north and east and by Egypt in the south. Water and electricity consumption in the Gaza Strip is expected to increase in the future due to the increasing population. In this paper, a solution for Sinai and the Gaza Strip is suggested involving the building of a joint power and desalination plant, located in Egypt close to the border of Gaza. The suggested joint Egypt-Palestine project would increases water supply by 500,000 m3/d and the power supply by 500MW, whereof 2/3 is suggested to be used in Gaza and 1/3 in Sinai. The present lack of electricity and water in Gaza could be erased by such a project. But Egypt will probably gain more. More water and electricity will be available for the future development of Sinai; a significant value will be added to the sale of Egyptian natural gas; more employment opportunities for people living in Sinai; the domestic market for operation and maintenance of desalination plants can be boosted by the suggested project; Egypt may naturally and peacefully increase its cooperation with and presence in Gaza, which should lead to increased security around the border. This type of project could also get international support and can be a role-model for cooperation and trust-building between neighbours in the Middle East region. This paper is also concerned with the water resources and water availability of in the Middle East as a baseline for cooperation between countries such as reach and poor peoples. Especially the water situation in Palestine (Gaza and West Bank) relationships to the Jordan and Egypt Basins will be considered.
